The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
At a strict Soviet summer camp for children, the camp director's rigid rules clash with the kids' desire for freedom and fun. The story follows a boy who is expelled but sneaks back in, leading to mischief and a quiet rebellion against authority.

What happens
Welcome, or No Trespassing (Russian: Добро пожаловать, или Посторонним вход воспрещён, romanized: Dobro pozhalovat, ili Postoronnim vkhod vospreshchyon) is a 1964 Soviet comedy film directed by Elem Klimov. It was capitalizing on the formal restrictions that children face during their vacation in a Young Pioneer camp. Most of the cast are children, while the protagonist is the director Dynin, played by Yevgeniy Yevstigneyev. The film was selected to be screened in the Cannes Classics section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Both Soviet censors and modern critics characterize it as a clandestine political satire, albeit for different reasons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
